How to set up Muse
Muse is the quickest agent to get running: install the app, sign in and start messaging. Spend a couple of extra minutes telling it what it must never share or agree to.
What you need
- An adult account in the United States or Canada
- A Meta account through Facebook, Instagram or email
- A payment card, which is required even on the free plan
- An iPhone or Android phone, a Mac or a web browser
Step by step
-
Get the app
Install Muse from the App Store or Google Play, or go to muse.ai on a computer. A Mac app is available as well.
-
Sign in and create your Muse
Sign in with your Meta account, then pick a name and an avatar. If a friend sent you an invite code, redeem it in Settings within 48 hours to receive bonus tokens.
-
Link WhatsApp if you use it
You can message Muse directly in WhatsApp. It shares its memory with the app, so you can switch between them freely.
-
Send your boundaries first
Message Muse your rules before any errand: never share your address, phone number or schedule, never accept an offer or pay without asking, and check with you before contacting anyone new. Keep the wording plain and specific.
-
Try a small errand
Start with a price watch or a reminder list instead of a purchase. See how Muse asks for approval, then decide what you are comfortable letting it do.
First things to do after setup
- Ask Muse for your token balance before a long job; the free allowance resets weekly on a day tied to your sign-up date.
- Shop at stores that use Shopify and PayPal, where checkout works more smoothly.
- Handle Marketplace pickup details yourself and keep your address out of Muse entirely.
Common mistakes
- Sending Muse to Amazon, which blocks it.
- Letting it shop or negotiate before you have seen how it asks for approval.
- Skipping the boundaries message; one early user reported that Muse gave his home address to a Marketplace buyer.
